missing. Nurudeen Maimako, a resident of Dass town in Bauchi State,
left his town on May 15 to Abuja, but has not been seen since then.
The Bauchi State Police command today declared him missing after his
father made an official complaint about his son's unknown where about,
Vanguard reports.
Maimako joined the long list of Nigerians trekking for President
Buhari in solidarity with the president after he won the presidential
elections. He left his state on foot to Abuja, to attend the
inauguration ceremony of Buhari.
A statement from the spokesperson of the command, DSP Haruna Mohammed,
made available to the public narrated Maimako's ordeal.
" On the 3/6/2015 at about 11:15am,one Muhammadu Hussaini ,male, of
Dass town, reported at Dass Divisional Police Headquarters, that on
15/5/2015 at about 6.00am,his son, one Nuruddeen Maimako, male and 38
years, left Dass on Foot Solidarity to attend the swearing in ceremony
of President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
"Since then, his whereabouts is not known and all efforts made to
locate him proved abortive.
"The last contact he (father) had with Maimako was when he (son)
informed them that he was in Jos, Plateau State.
"Particulars of the son are: 1.50 metres tall, Jarawa by tribe, light
in complexion and speaks English and Hausa fluently.
Members of the public who know his whereabouts are to report at the
nearest Police Station, or contact his father through GSM no
07051789119," the statement concluded.
Late in April, another man, Adamu Abdullahi, announced his intention
to walk from Maiduguri to Abujato honour president Buhari.
Five other men had said they were going to trek from Nigeria to Mecca
to honour Buhari. But it seems the era of trekking faded at some point
as 35-year-old Isa Kwarawanga of Zubo village in Shiraz local
government area, who trekked from Jama'are to Bauchi to appreciate the
victory of the state governor-elect, Barrister Mohammed Abubakar, met
no welcoming party.
Meanwhile, the governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, has
lamented that the current level of unemployment in the country has
forced many Nigerian youths to become 'political trekkers'.
